DICKSON'S STATEMENT.
It Has Refetence to the Needs of
the Lackawanna Hospital Pol
icy Is One ol the Bioadest
Libeiallty.
Satiirdnv'-i Tribune contained mi article-
which set forth the needs of the
Lai kaw 111111,1 hospital and why addi
tional watds aie needed, so tliat certain
kinds ot eases can be propeily ibolated.
With lefeience to the admission of
what are- usuallv tetmed objectionable
eaue.s the provident of the hospital,
James P. Dickson, makes Hie follow
ing statement
In our excellent at tide on tho Luk
avvuumi hospital In Satin day's. Issue
one or two c-rror- crept In, that in Jus
tice to the- hospital and the public, 1
feel that i should correct. The- nr tick
setting forth the needs of the hospital
iiml thtii aid asked for fiom the stato
Is not only title-, but should be most
emphatically i-inphaslze-d by every per
son in Scranton who has a spark of
human klndnet-s irr their make-up. and
vour lemiuks on children's wards are
pai tie ulat ly appi opr late.
What I would call attention to as
being Incorrect is the- paragraph In
which .vou state that eases of Uphold
fevei, consumption and dlphtheila will
not be admitted, nor will cases of alco
holism Now, as legal ds tvphold fever,
eons'umptlon or diphtheria, we have
never retused cases eif the- Hist two
mentioned, that Is, tvphold nnd eon
sumption, in fact, we- have had and
ate- having constant admittance! of
these two diseases, and us regard". O
pholel, we during the last two yeais'
have- raielv had less than troin six
teen to twent cases of this disease.
We- only refuse consumptive eases
which are chronic, our- bj-Iaws being
very specific tn this case, that we
should take no ehtonlc casei whatever,
but the faet of the matter is, we are
rarely without live- or more cases of
consumption, en, as it Is now called,
tuberculosis. These cages we do not
take, if it !- understooel when the-y are
brought there that, they aie sufterlng
with this disease, bee-ause .ill medical
authoiltles now sn that they are con
tagious Now as rcgaids alcoholism, there Is
hardly ever a time we- have not one or
more cases of till" kind. We do not
admit thotn as cases under tills head,
but they are frequerrtlj brought to us
ns slmplv iiises of le-vi-r. or fr-an casis
eif slight accident, and the alcoholl-mi
develops after thev have been with us
a day or two. Now let me sav one
thing as regai ds the teason why we
cannot accept these eases. Jn the Hist
place- they aie- very apt to be noisy,
such that will ellstuib the other pa
tlentu In the ward. In lact thev are
insane cases and as such, we having
nnv where- troin sixty to seventy bed
rlded patients, we- cannot in justice
to these allow them to be Inmates of
tho only wards we have and so dlstuib
t'Jini- who aie suftetlng with levers, or
Just getting over a se-veie- or ser loirs
Mimical operation, but 1 want to say
right he-re that nevei have we- turned
out a ease orr the street of nny kind
We have asked that eases of this kind
be sent to the poor faun, and until
th y weio taken to the pom tin in thev
Intel thst-elaps attention at Lacka
wanna, hospital.
As legar ds dlphtheila, that Is puielv
and simply a contagious disease- and
wo are not allowed under our bv-laws
to take these cases, however, if they
develop In the hospital, we lo evety
thlng we can for them, and In fact we
do sj much that our supei intendents
and nurses have- given up their rooms
tor these cases and they do everything
the-y can to take caru of them.
I can nnlv say, In conclusion, that the
Lackawanna hospital has In everj In
stnnco used every endeavor to take care
ot not orrb the legitimate wounded nrrd
sick, but have- time and time- and again
tukerr in eases' which, according to llro
httUt leading of our by-laws, should
have- been put out orr the sheet, but
never in my position as president, which
has extended over u term of nearly ten
M-ars, have I known a single person to
be sent away from the hospital, whethe r
It wai' .i case of contagion, Insanity -alcoholism.
)V have alwajs taken cate- of them,
until such time as proper piovlslons
could bo made, and just as gooel care
made of them as could lie- done bv any
Institution In the- state
This shows that the liistittiiiun Is ns
1 t'ltid as It Is poialble to nt.rko It and
c-nrphusUts the- noiesiltv of extending
to It the assistance so greatly needed

James Li-van, L'lmer Hollow, Thomas

'there was nn uttendance of ovet two
hUiidtfd ut the meeting C. V. Thomp
sin. Jr. and Peter Mullen, the pro
f le r of the meeting, laid bctore the
useniblago the grounds on which they
base the suspicions which led them to
begin this movement. Tho suspicious
cliettinstances mentioned at the last
meeting were leiterateel by the- speak
ers. Mr. Mullen called attention to tho
faet that In four M-ars the tax payeis
had been called upon to pay $5r,,U00
for load Impiovements, while It vvas
apparent to any man who cared to
even casually look Into the matter that
not etver S1.J00 had actually been e
penelod on the loads.
HIGH TAX RATI.'
'Peuty-two mills on the dollar Is
what you had to pay last year to keep
these shaiks in Iiimuj," fcald Mr. Mul
len. "Look about vou. Who are tho
rich men of Lackawanna township"
With a few exceptions they are the
nun who have- held township offices
A giont to-do was made last week
over tho election of a. congressman
What U a congressman as compared
to a supervisor of Lackawanna town
ship' Why, a congiessmnn's salary Is
only $3,000 a car"
Mr. Mullen also gave the Information
that tho Delawaie. Lackawanna and
Western Railroad company, the Lehigh
Valley Railroad companv, the Mooslc
Powder company and other large tax
paying concerns have signllled their
willingness to Join with the- citizens of
the township in cairylng on the Inves
tigation He teitetatetl his statement made at
the- last meeting that the township o Ul
cers had a piinting press set up in
Minooka nnd that they printed and Is
sued oideis whenever the-y felt like- it.
Thev even paid with township orders,
he said, the ' heelets" who worked fur
them at the polN. As an lnslante of
what little value Is attached to a town
ship order rrow. he told of being offered
